Caray, Caray!

Hello my patio peeps! This is my first recap for this show, it will be quick and dirty but I think I will be able to cover the most important parts, my DVR was a little bit wonky last night so I know I lost maybe 5-10 minutes of action, feel free to add to my recap in the comments section.

Also, before I continue, I am going to ask people to remember that this is a spoiler free zone. I saw the version of this with Kate Del Castillo, if this sticks closely to that version I know how things will turn out, if I saw LA Mentira, I'm sure others have as well, please do not ruin it for others by posting spoilers and do not discuss the previous version as it could give away key plot points, if anyone does and I see it I will delete the comment(s), please don't put any recapper in that position. And now your recap:

If she does not dig me she must be a ho:

At least Emiliano seems to think this is the case with Veronica. She is very clear with him, she has no romantic feelings towards him and she has started to feel something for Martin (who she just met! Seriously!), Emiliano makes the mistake of saying that it's true, she does go from man to man, and that earns him a slap, a wimpy slap by novela standards but still. Veronica is angry and wants to know why he would say such a thing to her.

Oh if only she knew that Virginia has been working over time to throw dirt all over her good name.


Salma has called Virginia inside, she does not want poor sickly Virginia to be out in the cold, she could get sick and catch her death, maybe Virginia would be best served by being put in a bubble, that way she would never be exposed to germs and you know the weather. Salma also has harsh words for Virginia, she does not want her to be like Vero, trying to get attention from men, she does not want her to disappoint her the way Veronica has.

Wait, what? Veronica has been shown to be a woman of strong character, she is smart, a hard worker, and kind, and she's considered a disappointment? Oh, okay.

Virginia plays the innocent card and says she was doing nothing wrong, she tells Selma that she tried to see if Emiliano had feelings for her but it turns out he is totally into Vero and she stands zero chance of him ever looking her way. Selma tells her not to push it and not to tell Emiliano how she feels about him.

Emiliano is sulking and tells his dad that Vero does not love him, in fact she is into Martin. Jorge tells him not to give up, he and Veronica have a lot of shared interests, and by working closely together something is sure to bloom, plus he does not think Veronica is impulsive enough to start going out with a guy she just met.

The next morning Veronica asks Matilde about Emiliano and it seems that he went off riding first thing in the morning, this alarms Vero and she puts on her riding boots to go after Emiliano. She catches up with him eventually, almost as he is about to ride off a cliff, yep, you read that right. Veronica pushes him off the horse and tells him he is all kinds of stupid, he could have hurt himself, and she could not bear it because she loves him-like a brother. Oh dang, that's not what you say to a man that has declared his love for you.

Veronica tells Emiliano that it might be best if she leaves both the family home and the company, she does not want to be around if it is going to make Emiliano uncomfortable and if his feelings endanger their friendship. Emiliano begs her not to go and asks her to give him a chance if things with Martin don't work out. Sigh, I'm sure Veronica will eventually regret not letting Emiliano go off the cliff. Random thought:Why does Sergio Sendel sound like he is constipated?

Jorge and Selma are in bed, he tells her that Emiliano is into Vero, she is of course not happy about it, they go to have breakfast and there is Virginia but no Emiliano and no Veronica, Matilde informs them that they went riding and Virginia is upset that she did not get to go, Jorge tells her she can go catch up with them but Virginia says she would love to, but her illness (heart problem) prevents her from doing the things she loves, like horse back riding, she says she is not hungry and leaves the table.

Once Virginia is gone Selma tells Jorge not to be so mean to Virginia, she is sick! Jorge says it sounds more to him like Virginia is using her illness as an excuse and he is not really all that sure of how sick she really is, in fact he wants to talk to her doctor. Selma tells him not to worry, she is already trying to get an appointment with a top cardiologist. Later Selma brings some fruit to Virginia and tells her about wanting to see the doctor, Virginia says she will make the appointment but Selma tells her not to worry, she'll take care of it.

My brain almost exploded, why in the world are people treating Virginia like a 12 year old? Who makes medical appointments for a grown woman, and worse why would a doctor even talk to Jorge or Selma about Virginia's medical issues, do patients have no right to privacy? I'm going to move on before I suffer brain damage.

Veronica tells Matilde that she has feelings for Martin, and she also mentions that she finds it odd that everyone is asking her about Demetrio. Matilde says it must be because they were very close. Veronica says that they were good friends, and that she once saw him having an argument with Virginia, he never told her what the argument was about and a few days later he disappeared.

Free Ana Perla!

Manuel, Ana Perla's assh*le of a brother is in the local cantina where he demands everyone show him respect, one of them men there says that respect is earned and you don't just get it because your grandfather is the boss. The waitress that was harassed before brings Manuel some tacos made with her special sauce, her very spicy sauce. Manuel can't handle the heat and everyone laughs at him, he threatens the men in the cantina by saying that anyone that laughs at him will get fired.

Manuel follows up that classy act by picking on Perla for making food for children whose parents are sending them to school hungry because they can't afford to feed them. I'm already thinking of ways for this jerk to bite the dust, I don't think I'll survive this telenovela with both him and his grandfather showing up on my screen every night.

Emiliano and Selma have a chat, she tells him that she is not okay with him wanting a relationship with Veronica, her father was a drunk and if they have children they might inherit that from Veronica.

Ooooh, oooh guess who had an a husband that liked to drink too much and was an abusive jerk? Magdalena. That's why Botel took her away, and sadly she had to leave her daughter behind, but now that they found gold they will use all their resources in order to find her. We also get a very disturbing scene of Magdalena getting hit by her drunk husband while their little girl heard/saw all of it.

Claudia has found out that Martin is a rich man, she let's it slip to Alfredo that Martin is going to be wealthier, Alfredo wants to know why she is saying this and Claudia says that it's because Martin is a hard worker. Alfredo tells her to give it up, she and Martin are never ever getting back together, and he seems to imply that she's a golddigger.

Claudia later tells Martin that she knows about the goldmine and that he should take the money and have fun with it. Martin tells her to ask before she reads his paper work. Pablo shows up with Mariana, he is ready to go to the jungle, and I feel like he has not properly prepared, but what do I know.

To finish off the episode Veronica and Martin meet at the club for their fencing match, tonight we get to see how that goes!
